Some of the world’s most precious natural fragrances—such as rose, jasmine, tuberose, and violet—are too delicate for steam distillation. High temperatures can damage their fragile aromatic molecules. Therefore, perfumers prefer absolute extraction to preserve the complete fragrance profile.

At Dünder Makine, we combine more than 40 years of engineering experience with modern processing technology to manufacture complete Absolute Extraction Units for the perfume and cosmetics industries.

What Is an Absolute?

An absolute is a highly concentrated natural aromatic extract obtained through solvent extraction rather than steam distillation.

Unlike essential oils, absolutes retain delicate top notes and complex fragrance compounds that would otherwise be lost during high-temperature processing. As a result, they are widely used in premium perfumes, cosmetics, and luxury fragrance products.

Popular absolutes include:

• Rose Absolute
• Jasmine Absolute
• Tuberose Absolute
• Violet Absolute

How the Absolute Production Process Works

Our Absolute Extraction Unit performs the entire production process with high efficiency and consistent quality.

Stage 1 – Concrete Production

Fresh flowers are extracted using a suitable solvent. After solvent recovery, a wax-like aromatic material called concrete remains.

Stage 2 – Absolute Production

The concrete is mixed with ethanol to dissolve the aromatic compounds. Next, the solution is cooled and filtered to remove waxes.

Finally, ethanol is recovered under vacuum at low temperatures. This process protects delicate fragrance molecules while producing a high-purity botanical absolute.
